Two weeks after he was released by his hometown team, T.J. Lang appears ready to retire from the NFL.

Lang, who spent the past two seasons with the Lions, has told people close to him he “definitely” has played his last game, and an announcement could come as soon as Friday.

Lang did not return a phone call or text message seeking comment Thursday, but his decision comes as no surprise to those who’ve followed his 10-year career.
